Staff Kiosk Toolbar
Overview
The Staff Kiosk Toolbar is available in the top right corner of your screen for the entire duration of your session in Staff Kiosk. It includes shortcuts for the Student Search, displays alerts for notifications, and provides a shortcut to TrackOne (if your school has this API enabled). Additionally, you can access the TASS Knowledge Base and a Login menu drop-down list from the toolbar. You also have the option to log out of Staff Kiosk and hide the banner to enlarge the page.

Preferences
Homepage Year Group Preferences
Several Staff Kiosk homepage programs will filter the data that is returned based on the 'Year Level Preferences' that you enter here, e.g. If you teach in the Senior school, you could select years 11 and 12. Program Homepage > Today's Absentees will only display the absentee records for students in Years 11 and 12.
My Email Signature
If your school uses SMTP (simple mail transfer protocol) for emails that are generated from Staff Kiosk, you need to enter your email signature here. The rich text editor can be used to format the appearance of your email signature (for example bold, italics and underlined).
This field accepts text and images.
Ghosting
If your school has enabled the 'Ghosting' feature in Staff Kiosk, it means that potentially you can 'Ghost' in and operate another staff member's Staff Kiosk, or another staff member can ghost in and operate your Staff Kiosk.
The level of functionality that is available to someone 'Ghosted' in as you is determined by your system administrator.
Logout
Click the ‘power switch’ symbol in the Preferences drop-down menu or the Logout icon to log out of the program.
Hide Banner
Click the 'up-arrow' icon to hide the banner. This provides a larger working frame for your Staff Kiosk.
